(U.S. 1st Cir., Administrative Law, Attorney's Fees, Civil Procedure, ERISA, Insurance Law, Labor & Employment Law) In plaintiff's ERISA suit against defendant alleging that it used an arbitrary and capricious procedure in terminating his short-term disability benefits and refusing to grant him long-term disability benefits, summary judgment for defendant is affirmed where: 1) defendant did not abuse its discretion in denying plaintiff's claim for short-term disability benefits; 2) district court did not err in dismissing plaintiff's claim for long-term disability benefits as he had not exhausted his administrative remedies; 3) plaintiff's claim that defendant is liable for sanctions is rejected; and 4) district court did not err in not awarding plaintiff attorney's fees as he did not prevail on any of his substantive claims.
